Шаблон:Infobox Minor League Baseball The Erwin Mountaineers were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Appalachian League in 1940.[1] They were located in Erwin, Tennessee, and played their home games at Gentry Stadium.[2]

The Mountaineers were managed by Tilly Walker,[2] a former American League outfielder.[3] Erwin was scheduled to open the season at home on May 2 against the Johnson City Cardinals, but the two-game series was postponed by cold weather.[4] Consequently, they played their first game on May 4,[4] defeating the Greeneville Burley Cubs, 8–5, on the road.[5]

Walker stepped down as manager around the beginning of June, and third baseman James Hoff led the team as a player-manager on an interim basis for two weeks. On June 13, veteran Appalachian League skipper Bill Dubbs was brought in to manage the Mountaineers.[6] Erwin ended the season on September 2 with a 6–2 road loss to the Pennington Gap Miners.[7] They compiled a win–loss record of 27–88 (.235), placing last of eight teams, in their only season of competition.[8]

The city of Erwin did not field another team until the Erwin Aces in 1943.[1]
